Jill Stein, the former Green party presidential candidate, is preparing to contest the results of the US election in several key battleground states.

An online fundraising page on Stein’s campaign website, launched Wednesday, had secured $2,646,523.16 in donations by Thursday morning, out of a target $4,500,000.00.

A statement on the page said that the campaign already had enough to fund a review of the vote in Wisconsin, well ahead of the Friday deadline, and is now seeking money to pay for reviews of the Michigan and Pennsylvania results.
